Tips & Warnings
Besides the recommended websites, there are other areas to look into when creating your own photo album. Scrapbooking is always a fun and hands-on way to create a unique album. Also, most of your local department stores like Wal-Mart, Target and Meijer also offer album services at their photo kiosks. For those of you Mac users, look into creating albums with iPhoto.
Always keep copies of your online purchases. Although rare, sometimes mix-ups happen and it is always helpful to have your order information saved.
